Ginebra is riding high after a dominant 114-98 victory over Terrafirma on December 18, when resident import Justin Brownlee delivered a masterclass.
Brownlee erupted for 49 points and hauled down 12 rebounds, proving why he remains one of the league's most impactful reinforcements.
The Gin Kings, currently 3-1, showcased a balanced attack led by their core of Scottie Thompson, Japeth Aguilar, and rising rookie RJ Abarrientos. Their depth and versatility will be crucial against a Converge squad hungry to climb the standings.
Converge (4-2) has proven to be a dangerous opponent, with Jordan Heading, Cheick Diallo, Alec Stockton, and Justine Baltazar leading the charge.
However, Ginebra’s experience and firepower make it the favorite in this marquee matchup.
